I'm grateful for this amazing opportunity to do what I love and get back to this part of the country. My relatively short life already reads like a cross-country music tour; only with far less music and screaming fans along the way.

Going backwards, I was most recently the primary nightside reporter and a fill-in anchor at the ABC affiliate in Waco, Texas. That market includes the Killeen/Fort Hood community, which made November 5, 2009 a day I will remember forever. We were in the middle of our afternoon planning meeting when a military psychiatrist killed 12 fellow soldiers and a civilian on post. In the days following, we learned most of those soldiers were from a detachment based in Wisconsin. I was the first reporter on the scene at the shooter's apartment and did hours of live reporting for wall-to-wall coverage.

Prior to my time in Waco, I graduated with majors in journalism and political science from Northwestern University. I used Chicago as home base, traveling all over the country during school. I took an on-air reporting internship in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and later at a station in Lansing, Michigan; the place where both Jeremy Ross and Mike Lowe got their starts. I also hit every Big Ten state, following the Wildcats on away football games, most of the time as a reporter for the campus TV station. While in school, I also produced and solo-anchored a Midwest Regional Emmy Award-winning live 2008 election special for a PBS station in Chicago. Other work during college helped me pick up a College Emmy and a few Hearst Awards.

I'm originally from New Jersey and one of the only ways you would be able to tell is by asking me how I take my "caw-fee" in the morning. And sorry Bucks, Brewers and Packers fans... But being from the New York side of Jersey means I'm a Yankees, Knicks and Dolphins (long story) fan all the way.

Now I'm happy to call Milwaukee home. You will definitely see me running lakeside when the weather is nice. I also love playing and watching pretty much any sports. I am a big movie dork, meaning I'll see pretty much anything in theaters.

I especially like stories where I can help get you results, or ones where I can find a creative way of demonstrating a problem and bringing it to the attention of the right people.

What is less certain is what will happen next, and how many jobs, if any will be coming to the state. What this mining bill means as far as jobs is a matter of who you ask, who sues over this bill and whether there will even be an iron mine. “I think we have the potential for thousands of good paying jobs and […]
